Planing and footstraps - Part 2: our Secret Exercice | Wind Fornells

From Wind Fornells we teach you our method to learn to get planing and use the foostraps. If we divide the process into stages and practice certain pre-exercises separately, learning to get planing is a piece of cake.
In this second part, we teach you a key exercise to learn to use the footstraps. If you practice this exercise, even without speed and in light winds, it will help you a lot to understand how to move your feet on the board and put them in the footstraps.

Nice! I did watch some other videos on this topic so theoretically I knew weight has got to be shifted, but no one else explained this exercise in sub-planing conditions and I think that's priceless info! Thanks a lot! You also explain very well!

[@Windfornells]

Great video, however, if i try to go into the footstraps in light wind my board will turn into the wind in a second. I could mitigate it by turning the sail forward but it feels very strange to stay on the back of the bosrd with the sail tilted forward…

Hi! Yes, it is a very unnatural position. This exercise is only designed to train you to move to the back of the board without turning into the wind. If you are able to do it in light winds, on a windier day it will be very easy to just get into footstraps.

The best explanation thank you very much

Thanks!

it's useless even stupid to go into the straps without planning - you just can do it because you have too much volume

[@Windfornells]

Hi! It might look stupid, yes! But it works! It teaches you to move your feet back while keeping the board flat. And of course we use big boards for people who start using footstraps. Once they are comfortable planning on big boards, then we move down. This exercise has helped many of our clients! Give it a try!
